If you're going to buy Wifi spectrum mics, buy the Rode Gen3 -- they have a mic jack and are basically Rode Wireless Pros without the timecode.
My workflow:
* Studio/Day-Rate Productions: Sennheiser G3 & G4 bodypacks + cardioid capsule lavalier mics -> Zoom H5 + Rode shotguns on cameras + Boom pole into Tascam DR44WL
* Quick and Easy (event documentation): Rode Wireless Go 3 + lavs -> internal recording + Zoom H5 + Rode shotguns on cameras
* Run-n-Gun: Rode Wireless Go 3 + Deity mic(s) on camera(s) -> internal recording
I film car videos but the filming and editing aspect is just as much of a hobby to me as working on the cars is.
Sony ZV-E1
Sigma 24-70 DG DN Art ii
Rode Go 3 Mics (recently upgraded from a single DJI Mic)
Some Smallrig tripod
Dji RS4 Mini
Delkin Fat Gecko mount
I recently got a DJI Action 4 for filming POV driving.
And then I have a couple different studio lights for soft lighting.
I have gone with Rode Go3. It has a locking 3,5 connector, and that was crucial for me. The only advange that I onestly see in Dji, is the hotshoe adaptor if you are a Sony shooter. Now, in therms of what lapel I plug in, that is an other question as I have a good selection of mics, ranging from DPA's, Sanken Cos11's and other, all compatible with the Rode (Mic2 from Dji is also compatible, but no locking connector)
I own both the Larks and the RODE Wireless GO (Pro and regular) - they’ll all do essentially the same job, but none of them will let you turn the transmitting off. So that’s the only real concern.
Another vote for the MAX 2. I commonly use these in uncontained filming locations like tradeshow floors or event venues where interference can be expected, and knowing that I've got recordings being run right on the transmitters is a godsend. I own 2 sets and have run 4 TX units to one RX - it's useful for monitoring all at once, but I'm generally using the TX ISO recordings in those situations.
I also own the RODE GO mic sets for a similar offering, albeit slightly more expensive. The RODE lav capsules are a bit nicer than the Hollyland ones if you go for the GO Pro kit.

Indestructible live workhorse; but muffled for studio vocals.
